"The Global Digital Transformation"
Well-established industries, such as oil & gas, are in the midst of large-scale transformation resulting from the need for data and the influx of it to improve operations and output. The growing number of connected devices and the explosion of data generated is challenging industries to adapt products and services from the physical world to the digital world. As a result, there is a need to connect the unconnected and provide intelligence from the edge to the cloud. Utilizing the momentum of AI and 5G, many industries are in the midst of a digital evolution extending beyond technology. New ways of thinking are emerging in the workforce, processes, and in the value chain. No single vector is sufficient for success. Capitalizing on the profound impact of data requires us all to think bigger, think broader, and think differently. Come hear Intel’s thoughts on the industrial transformation that is underway!

Being the first one innovating with IIoT technologies does not necessarily makes you a winner… but your workforce and their adoption and efficient use of these new technologies WILL. The panel will discuss the various aspects of people and organization in the success of digital transformation. How personas and organization change with technology.
TECH PAVILION
The Tech Pavilion is a space where attendees have the opportunity to experience some of the technologies enabling digital transformation. Exhibitors will present live demos not PowerPoint based over a period of 10 to 15 minutes including time for questions. We strongly recommend an interactive approach whereas attendees can ask questions and comments as the demonstration progresses. It is the presenters’ choice to let an attendee perform the demonstration if they feel comfortable doing so. No hazardous material should be used, and proper logistic arrangements will need to be taken well ahead of time in terms of specific requirements such as power, transportation, and installation.
